Background:
Angiogenic potential m most tumors; characterized by VEGF and vascular bed density around tumor islands, is believed to be an important marker in predicting tumor growth,
recurrence and metastasis.
Materials and Methods:
The study included 50 cases of ameloblastomas. From each case 4 μm sections were stained IHC with antivascular endothelial growth factor antibody- and endothelial lined
vessels anti CD34 antibody to evaluate their expression and intensity in relation to their Fac Med Baghdad clinicopathological features.
Results:
Generally, VEGF was significantly highly expressed with strong intensity in outer cell layer of tumor islands, and the newly formed blood vessels were significantly
predominantly rounded and small in size in comparison to dental folicale and papilla of tooth germ. Young aged patients (≤ 20yrs) had highest mean MvD around tumor islands
(35.9). Regarding WHO classification; follicular, plexiform and lining cells in UAB had higher expression then acanthomatous and types, but 67% of those in plexiform were of
moderate intensity. There was no significant differences in mean MvD in all histological solid subtypes, and characterized by round and small vessels. Except those in plexiform,
they were elongated and medium. UAB had significant lower microvessel count around lining tumor cells (but not around mural growth) and more percentage of elongated medium
sized vessels than follicular but less than plexiform. There was significant correlation between VEGF expression and the shape of microvessels. Considering different
morphological cellular pattern, basal cells showed the highest VEGF positivity and intensity (87.5).
Conclusions:
The present study indicate the usefulness of the VEGF expression and MvD in explaining the aggressive, locally invasive biological behavior of ameloblastoma. The high
angiogenic potential is enhancing tumor cell survival and the increase in the production of new blood vessels formation is facilitating tumor growth, and by time will enhance the
proliferation potential of the incompletely removed surviving tumor islands, so increasing the chance of ameloblastoma recurrence.
With the advancement of technology ,the study of cross-cultural communication via on line has become an important and researchable topic in linguistic theory and its applications.The aims of this study are two- fold (a) exploring the influence of cultural diversity on on-line interaction between American native speakers (NSs) and Iraqi non-native speakers (NNSs) of English which, together with other factors might potentially lead to what Thomas(1983) calls "pragmatic failure" (PF), a main cause of communication breakdowns and (b) specifying which type of PF occurs more frequently between the two groups along with the reasons behind such failures.

African countries are among the countries in the world that suffer from the phenomenon of child recruitment in wars and conflicts. There are many reasons behind it, including the nature of the human formation of children, the societal violence to which they are exposed, lack of access to education, economic hardships, as well as the role of African wars and conflicts and other reasons that compelled children to join armed groups and participate in military operations. The recruitment of children is divided into two types, compulsory and voluntary, and this leads to many humanitarian and security repercussions that are not limited to a specific period of time but extend to subsequent generations, and due to its seriousness, t

Tuba field is located nearly 40 km SW – Basrah city. It is bounded from east by Zubair oil field (5 km distance) and from west by Rumaila (2 km distance). The Tuba oil field is situated between Zubair oil field in the east and Rumaila in the west, and is separated by two depressions.
The rock (core and chips) samples have been collected systematically from cores of Mishrif Formation that are available from stores of southern oil company to prepare thin sections and slides—these slides have been examined by using microscope. These samples have been taken from all parts of the rese
Objective: Knee osteoarthritis is a common disabling chronic disease globally. Many pharmacological agents have been used efficiently in treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
